OKAY so I am honestly incurably upset that I can’t see Emily, her name is Emily for 30 days. I want so much for you guys to trust me and I have told you everything, all the guys I’ve been out with, the time I tried weed, I’ve never intentionally tried to hide anything from you because like I said I want so badly for you to trust me. Not just with being honest with you but with my ability to tell who is a good person. I’ve been texting Emily all day everyday since last Friday when I met her in person. I really connect with her and I love spending time with her. I’ve only seen her 3 times and she has made me so happy every time. The TWENTY FIVE year old theatre guy who both of you supported me going out with without meeting him tried to makeout …show more content…
I’m not in love because I believe it takes a lot of time to truly fall in love but I have such a nice and refreshing connection with Emily and it breaks my heart that I cannot spend time with her. I really dont want to be sad all summer and at this age I really crave this affection and feel like its healthy for me to explore and try things so I know what I want/like in the future. I desperately want to see her and it really really hurts that I can’t. It’s dumb but it feels like Romeo and Juliet. I dont see why her age matters when I have such a strong connection with her. You guys are 30 years apart and you are absolutely perfect for each other. I’m just really really sad and I dont want to be but I also want you to trust and respect that I’m starting to make life choices without you and its not because I’m trying to hide them but because I dont feel I need to ask your advise about them. I knew inviting her in our house would be crossing a line and is creepy but I really dont see the harm in her stoping by and saying hello to me. I kinda wish you had seen us because I was so happy and could not stop smiling at

    Summary Of Floyd C. Watkins's 'A Rose For Emily'

    In Floyd C. Watkins, the structure of “A Rose for Emily”. Watkins argues that Faulkner had structural flaws, but because he organized Miss Emily’s life in five parts of constant isolation and intrusions appearing all the way up to here death, the story had perfect symmetry.

    A Rose For Emily Literary Analysis

    Blooming in Winter A Rose for Emily’s use of metaphor and unique symbols fuse together to create a southern gothic tale of a murderous, abandoned, elderly woman who fears the unknown and seeks companionship. William Faulkner uses a unique literary device in which the narrator is the entire town rather than one person, Miss Emily is seen through gossip and rumours rather than her true nature. Faulkner uses this way of storytelling to create an interesting yet thought provoking short story.…

    Eulogy About Dee

    Hi I think like Dee most people do not know or care about their own family history. From an early age Dee fantasied of living a different life, she wanted more than what her mother could offer her. I believe this is why she denied her family because by denying her family she could deny her family history. I ponder if Dee wanted the quilt and the carved dasher to go with her new found facade, so she could brag that she inherit it from her ancestors.…

    The Story Of An Hour And A Rose For Emily Critical Analysis

    According to the Oxford English Dictionary, longing is “the action of yearning to desire,” and freedom is “the state or fact being free from servitude, constraint, inhibition, etc.” In "The Story of an Hour" and "A Rose for Emily," Louise Mallard and Emily Grierson respectively long for freedom from the control of their male authority and seek for self-control. However, both women long for freedom in different perspectives in their relationships. Louise in "The Story of an Hour" wants freedom away from her husband to find an identity and control her life. In contrast, Emily in "A Rose for Emily” longs for freedom to find love and take control of her own relationships.…

    A Rose For Emily Ego Analysis

    The ultimate goal of a young woman in the south was to find love and marry, that is if her father did not chase possible husbands away. Emily was an eccentric figure who changed from a joyful and vibrant child to a secretive and mentally ill woman. After her father’s death, she was lonely, as a result of him ensuring that she would never marry. Emily had to face her father driving away young men in town, who he believed were not good enough for her. In William Faulkner 's, “A Rose For Emily,” he uses the killing of Homer, old southern traditions, and Emily’s ego to show that she is desperate for love and enhance the overall meaning that Emily is unable to let go of the past, only preserve it.…

    Essay On A Rose For Emily

    One of the interesting techniques that Faulkner uses to develop ‘A Rose for Emily’ was his use of an unnamed narrator whose relationship to Emily and whose role in the life of the town is somewhat uncertain. Still, the reader cannot help but be curious by the way in which the narrator tells the story of Miss Emily. Faulkner constantly uses the word “we" to describe the feelings of the townspeople and their suspicions of Miss Emily. In this essay, the effect of this narrative style will be examined through close textual analysis.…

    “We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she had to do that. We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will (136). “A Rose for Emily” is a short story written by William Faulkner during the transition of the south from the antebellum era towards the modern future.
